What are the benefits of hydrogen to human health?

Hydrogen is a new type of selective antioxidant and ideal anti-inflammatory substance, which plays a considerable role in delaying aging and relieving inflammation.

A large number of biological research evidences show that hydrogen is the only selective antioxidant with the function of selectively neutralizing hydroxyl radicals and nitrite anions, which is the molecular basis for hydrogen to treat antioxidant damage diseases. In addition, the molecular weight of hydrogen is very small, which can quickly permeate and spread throughout the body, penetrate various physiological barriers and cell membranes, enter the nucleus, and take away malignant reactive oxygen species that cannot be eliminated by general means. More importantly, after scavenging reactive oxygen species, hydrogen itself can be turned into water to be used by the human body without affecting the normal functions of other benign reactive oxygen species and biomolecules.

Content distribution

There is only extremely rare free hydrogen on the earth and in the earth's atmosphere. In the crust, if calculated by mass, hydrogen only accounts for 1% of the total mass, and if calculated by atomic percentage, it accounts for 17%. Hydrogen is widely distributed in nature, and water is the "warehouse" of hydrogen-the mass fraction of hydrogen in water is11%; There is about 1.5% hydrogen in the soil; Oil, natural gas, animals and plants also contain hydrogen. In the air, hydrogen is not much, accounting for about five ten thousandths of the total volume.

In the whole universe, hydrogen is the element with the highest atomic percentage. According to research, in the atmosphere of the sun, hydrogen accounts for 8 1.75% in atomic percentage. In space, the number of hydrogen atoms is about 100 times more than the sum of all other elements.
